I did not go but daughter and grown granddaughter did (on breakaway January 8-15) they said it as awesome. You do know you can use your specialty dinning pkg there. Total of 4 items. My GD got 3 rolls and something else. How the skinny girl ate it i will never know.

If the card is in the sleeve you can still use it in the sleeve to enter your cabin and to check into resultants. The new system is to lay it on a reader. We recently sailed on breakaway and ask to punch a hole. they did no refuse just said it wasn’t a good idea and explained why.

Recently on breakaway. My daughter talked about getting the Starbucks package. She didn’t like the dining room coffee so she would stop and get a cup of Starbucks before breakfast. Only two specialty coffees the whole week so the Starbucks package would not of been a good deal. I had a coffee pot brought to my cabin and coffee was fine. yes regular coffee is free everywhere.

Just remember regardless what you bring to port you cannot bring back in the ship. . Well that is the rule but last cruise I saw people returning with their NCL a carton of water. I just dump any remaining water to keep from any issues.

If you are doing the sail away rate and have not been assigned a cabin yet that would be an explanation. Other than that ????

Are you serious. Were these dishes after you ate your fill ?? Surely this wasn’t the pitiful portion served!

Don’t w love auto correct. It makes idiots of us.

I would tell cabin steward right off get go you need plenty. You will probably have to ask for the coffee pot. I just got off breakaway and had to ask for the pot.

I was on Breakaway January 8-15. I went to cruise next last night of cruise. I got a guy that literally had honey dripping from his mouth. Everything was honey and sweetie. He gave me my two pins and told me I made sapphire and gave me my paper for the 2 cruise next I bought. my cabin steward was beyond awesome. only person I ran across that was not nice and friendly was the prune faced woman working the counter at taste restaurant. She must of gargled with vinegar each morning. She almost got the furry of my daughter when she yanked her card out of her hand.

I had read somewhere you can’t use gift card on most of the ships. Just recently on breakaway and was told you will let you use the app . That is true because I used it several times. So not sure about the gift cards. Just told the app is ok.

Don’t they make you throw out drinks for the drill. They have in the past.

At what point can you do online check in? it has been awhile since cruising with Carnival. Is it at that point you pick your arrival time. If we are platinum do we still pick a time. In the past platinum could arrive whenever.

In New Orleans the first group was checked. After I went through the line not sure what happened. I did see them removing some from the line.

Yes. The schedule was changed. Cozumel was 10:00-5:50 (not as posted on itinerary. Can not remember costa Maya but it was messed up. We was suppose to be there at one time, ship was running slow (due to some problem) but as it turns out we were not as late as planned. I had read one sailing they flip flopped Cozumel and costa Maya. surely if you have outside excursion the leader will see the ship is delayed and will not take off before everyone is there.

I will try to answer the questions since we did not do the safety drill life vest ?? Have not had to take life vest to a drill in forever though. yes they was charging tax on drinks while in NOLA . I don’t drink but my daughter and granddaughter sure did. They had the package and was actually charged for the drink and took three days to have it come off the bill. very few people dressed up. Like really dressed up. Never even saw anything about it either. reservations once on ship was a ***** show. There was 3 of us making them so one night we needed to switch from 2 people to 3 in Cagney’s . We got it done but by the skin of our teeth. Try and do any changes fast. Also glad we had dinner reservations in plain old dinning room because it got full fast. noodle bar- oh brother. The line is unreal. My plan was for Friday while kids went to sushi. After hearing about line I got on it at 4:00 (opens at 5:00) already had people in line. Once we all went in the people had to wait another hour because that is how long it takes to serve everyone. Once all cleared out the next group goes in. Was not open at lunch. I would probably stand In line ann hour again but .who knows. it is good but too much food for me. The combo fried rice was my favorite and couldn’t eat ll the rest of the food. I know nothing about Syd Norman’s . hope this helps. I will say 3rd time on breakaway. Twice out of Nola and once out of Miami and never seen it so crowded everywhere. We came out of the dining room wedn evening and it was jammed up lines for.Both taste and savor. The lobby stayed packed. On past cruises sometimes sea days it was like a ghost town, not this cruise.

I don’t know if they will actually refuse it when my daughter ask she was told it messes with you using the card. Don’t scan like before you lay it on a reader. My lanyard had the sleeve so I just pulled it out each time.

Wow. We just missed the fun

We did guy’s burger on embarkation last cruise. No long lines at all that day. Of coarse we got in first thing.

We were taken out of line once and scared us to death. We had two grandchildren with bus and if they planned on taking us somewhere what we do with two little kids.lol turns out we spent so much money they wanted to charge us some taxes. All of a sudden an emergency happened and the place had to be cleared out and they rapidly told us to forget it.

OMG on the roach situation. Just got off a NCL rouse and next cruise will be on carnival spirit so thought I would check it out. brother you can bet the smashed dead roach would be brought down to guest services not flushed. I do not do roaches!!!! besides they can get in your stuff and you take them home with you.I can handle alit but NOT roaches. so now I can freak out thinking about this.

It has been some time since we cruised carnival. Will dining room be open for lunch after we get on the ship? Or is it the buffet, pizza or deli only. Just got off NCL and two restaurants were open. Was nice to get off to start with nice sit down meal.

Inc you guessed it!!!! We ate breakfast in Taste every morning, lunch when we could and dinner most nights. That poor woman never had a smile. Nuff said! She was the only one on whole ship like that.

Yes your station is on your card (by number) but I had to ask where it was A7 meant nothing to me. it is a hoot to have people cramming into the little area to get checked in and the tons of people still leaving the ship all in the same space

Well I live just over out of NOLA and the crime is a hot subject around here.
